Engine knocking..best decision?

Your tow truck idea may go down the gutter before it starts. Frame isn't made for serious work. You get into big boy territory and your gonna have a mangled frame in no time

what would be your suggestion? i like the truck and the way they look with bigger tires and lift..

You did not mention it has Vortec heads so IU assume it is a standard tbi block. Vortec came into production starting in 1996 with individual injectors for each cylinder. You can go Vortec heads, but a new intake manifold is required to adapt it to a carb or tbi.

change of plans, I will be buying an economical car and getting around in that so that I don't have to rush getting my truck back on the road...so with that being said, I want to put a diesel in it because I'm trying to make it a towing truck...I was thinking getting a cummins, different transmission, different gears in the differential, lift kit, rims and tires....ideas?

The best idea it to get a different truck ...

it already is TBI vortec?

No it's not.
